Love to workout? How about working out with your pooch? We have teamed up with TangleTown CrossFit for a "Hero Dog WOD" on Sunday, September 24th at 9am. This is the perfect workout whatever your skill set, for people that have never tried CrossFit to those that have competed. There is a $20 donation that goes to Pets Loyal to Vets, which a a local non-profit that trains service and therapy dogs for vets that have PTSD.

Bubbly Paws and Pampered Pooch Playground have teamed up with Good Karma Animal Rescue to raise funds and supplies to help the relief effort at animal shelters in Texas. Good Karma Animal Rescue will be heading to Texas to bring some of the shelter dogs back to Minnesota to find a forever home (these are dogs that were in the shelter/rescue system before the hurricane hit). When they make their way back to Minnesota, Bubbly Paws will be hosting a night with a local vet to check over the dogs and our staff will be bathing them (all free of charge).

You can make a donation directly to Good Karma online by clicking here or at any of the Bubbly Paws stores or at Pampered Pooch Playground.

On Saturday, October 15, 2016 we received notice that one of our email accounts was hacked to send spam phishing emails. Google, our email provider, notified us 15 minutes after the activity and the account was disabled and the issue was stopped. The email sent a fake document from Docusign with a link to click. Once the link was clicked, it asked for your email address and password. Google has opened an investigation and confirmed that this hacking attempt did not originated from within the United States.

If you simply clicked the link, there is nothing to worry about. If you entered an email address and password, please change the password for that email account and any other accounts that use the same combination.

This issue affected a small amount of our customers, but we feel that we need to be open and honest with what happened. Poochworks, our reservation system was not affected by this. All credit cards stored with us are fully encrypted on Authorize.net. As a precaution, all master passwords were changed and a security scan was run; we passes with flying colors.

We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused. Please contact us if there is anything we can do. Here is a great link on how to avoid being the victim of phishing scams.
